IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE*….

Every now and then; one is bombarded with adds that read: ”Make Money Fast!!! Earn $Thousands$ At Home Using Your Computer” and “Earn $30/hr, no experience necessary”.

We’d all like to believe that these get rich quick schemes work, but if the job sounds too good to be true, chances are it is.

Each summer hundreds of young people unwittingly get involved with questionable companies offering them promises of summer employment. A person doesn’t have to be naïve to fall victim to a fraudulent organization. Fraud artists are skilful in the art of manipulating people, and students, sometimes desperate for work or inexperienced in their search, overlook the warning signs. Unfortunately, ignorance is not bliss in these situations. If a person is knowledgeable of the offence, if they know or suspect that what they are doing is illegal, they can be held criminally responsible and face the same charges and penalties as those running the operation.

Making the wrong choices about your summer job can lead to you not getting paid for your work, losing money, finding yourself in a dangerous situation, or unwittingly becoming part of an illegal operation.

* This paragraph is an excerpt of The Gazette/Youth Employment Services publication Networking Montreal, March 5, 2001 by Iris Unger, Executive Director of Youth Employment Services. Tel: (514) 878-9788

*When in doubts regarding a job offer and certain working conditions, consult with your Dawson Student Employment Centre in Rm. 2E.7-1

TELEMARKETING

If you decide to work for a telemarketing company you should be aware of a few things. Even though a majority of these companies run an honest business a few are fraudulent. How does one differentiate between a legal and an illegal operation? In the end it boils down to good judgment. So beware if you notice the following pattern:

Persons conducting the interview are not professional e.g. casual manner, the interview takes place in a restaurant.

They ask you make offers over the phone that sound too good to be true.

They offer gifts such as: a trip for 2, jewelry...

They want you to contact people, especially elder ones, and ask them to send

money if they want to “redeem” a prize.

They most of the calls out of the province

They offer a salary based on commission only.

They pay you in cash rather than by cheque

If you have any questions, doubts, or complaints please do not hesitate to contact the Dawson Student Employment Officer at 2E.10, call Phone Buster at: 1.888-495-8501, or Project Colt (514) 939-8304

The Student Employment Centre has a binder containing job offers in telemarketing. If you are interested drop by and ask for the telemarketing binder.

PLACEMENT AGENCIES

If you deal with a placement agency, be aware that they should not charge you any fee for their services. If they do, it is probably a scam. Some placement agencies, through ads, will promise you a job in a paradise island or on a cruise ship if you send them money. Don’t.

Placement agencies do not charge the client; it is the employer who pays them for “finder fee”

As a general rule, if anyone at all asks you for fees in exchange for a job, simply run away from it. Not only you won’t get a job but also will lose your money.

MODELING AGENCIES

Watch out for modeling agencies that make offers of free trips and lots of money. There are many legitimate agencies but there are also many companies that will charge you for expensive portfolios that will “train” you to become a model with little chance of actually getting employment in the fields. Make sure when responding to theses ads to ask questions about how long they have been in business? What type of placement they have made? Check with the Better Business Bureau to find out if there have been reports on the company

TREE PLANTING

It is a rough, hard and monotonous job. Tree planting is not geared for everyone. It is a great experience for the right person, but a certain failure for the wrong person. Can you be a tree planter? Please ask yourself the following:

Do you enjoy intense physical work, are you good at it, and do you have strong endurance?

Are you more productive at repetitive physical jobs than those around you?

Do you enjoy working and living in the outdoors? (Planters live in tents during the summer).

Are you mentally disciplined enough to rapidly perform a physical, repetitive task 10 hours a day with minimal breaks?

Are you certain that you have the drive and physical capability to be a successful tree planter? Talk to people who have done it.

Do you have a few hundred dollars to invest toward buying some equipment and paying for your traveling fare?

If you are not confident in all of the above areas please do not go tree planting. Be honest with yourself at this stage, the success of your summer depends on it.

Why plant trees? Of course there are also some benefits; here are a few:

Make very good wages

Get in top physical condition

Meet new friends from across Canada

Test your inner limits of motivation and endurance
